July Home Maintenance Checklist
As the summer heat intensifies, July is the perfect time to focus on home maintenance tasks that will keep your living space comfortable and well-maintained. From ensuring your air conditioning system is running smoothly to cleaning and inspecting outdoor spaces for optimal enjoyment, this month’s checklist covers essential areas to address.
1. Inspect and Clean Your Air Conditioning System
With the summer heat in full swing, it’s crucial to ensure that your air conditioning system is functioning efficiently. Clean or replace the filters, check for any leaks or unusual noises, and schedule a professional maintenance service if necessary.
2. Inspect and Clean Your Deck or Patio
If you have a deck or patio, inspect it for any signs of damage, such as loose boards or cracks. Clean the surface and remove any debris or dirt. Consider resealing or staining the wood to protect it from the elements.
3. Clean and Inspect Your Windows and Screens:
Take the opportunity to clean both the inside and outside of your windows, removing any dirt or streaks. Inspect the window frames and screens for any damage or tears and repair or replace them as needed.
4. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors:
Regularly check the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Test them to ensure they are functioning correctly, and replace any units that are expired or malfunctioning.
5. Trim Trees and Shrubs:
Trim any overhanging branches or shrubs near your home to prevent them from touching the roof or exterior walls. This helps to avoid potential damage from branches rubbing against the house or falling during storms.
Remember, this is just a general checklist, and your specific home and maintenance needs may vary. It’s always a good idea to consult with professionals or refer to your home’s owner manual for any specific instructions or recommendations.
